The Living Proof - Mary J. Blige

It’s gonna be a long long journey

It’s gonna be an uphill climb

It’s gonna be a tough fight

There’s gonna be some lonely nights

But I’m ready to carry on

I’m so glad the worst is over

(Cuz it almost took me out)

I can start living now

Ooh, I feel like I can do anything

And finally I’m not afraid to breathe

Anything you say to me And everything you do You can’t deny the truth

Cuz I’m the living proof

So many don’t survive

They just don’t make it through

But look at me, oh

I’m the living proof

Oh, yes I am Thinkin' 'bout life’s been painful

(Yes it was)

Took awhile to learn how to smile

So now I’m gonna talk to my people, oh oh About the storm, oh About the storm, oh So glad the worst is over

(Cuz it’s all beneath me now)

I can start flying now, oh ho My best days are right in front of me Yet I’m almost there

Cuz now I’m free, oh Anything you say to me And everything you do You can’t deny the truth

Cuz I’m the living proof

So many don’t survive

They just don’t make it through

But look at me, oh

I’m the living proof

I know where I’m going, oh Cuz I know where I’ve been, oh oh

I got a few stars that’s showin'

(Hey)

I’mma stay strong keep going

That’s the way that I’ll win

Anything you say to me And everything you do

(Everything you do)

You can’t deny the truth

Cuz I’m the living proof

So many don’t survive

They just don’t make it through

But look at me, yeah

I’m the living proof

Nothing ‘bout my life’s been easy

But nothing’s gonna keep me down, no, down, no Cuz I know a lot more today

And I know yesterday

So I’m ready to carry on
